Are you a no-reply blogger?

I absolutely love to receive comments on my blog. I always take the time to read every single one. I appreciate the kind words and I've learned some great new ideas. I love to respond to every single comment, too. And I do, but, only if you are not a no-reply blogger. Most people don't know whether or not they are a no-reply blogger. If this is the case for you, hopefully, my little tutorial will let you know. First, what is a no-reply blogger? Well, if you leave me a comment and I read it through my email and then I go to reply to your email, if your email address reads noreply-comment@blogger.com, you are a no-reply blogger and I cannot reply to your email. In this case, all you need to do is follow the 6 easy steps below and you will instantly begin receiving replies back to many of the comments that you leave on everyone's blogs.

That's it! Most bloggers will agree that it is good blogging etiquette to have an email address associated with your blog. There are so many times that I want to email someone back and I can't.

If you don't want your main email address flooded with emails from bloggers or if you don't want anyone to know your main email address, then you can create an email account just for blogging. The email in your profile can be different than the one you use to sign into your blog.

Feel free to to share this information on your blog, too. The more people we reach, the less no-reply bloggers they'll be!

If you would like to use this post as a test to see whether or not you are a no-reply blogger or whether or not you added your email correctly, you can leave a comment and I will reply back to you...as long as you did it correctly. :) Good luck to you!

I find it amazing that you respond to each and everyone of your comments. That's incredible!! And I know for a fact that you receive a lot more comments than I do, but I can't find the time to respond to every one of mine. You're amazing!!

Thanks so much for posting this! Jessica from Mrs. Standford's Class taught me how to do this a few weeks ago. Now I am bugged when people don't have it set up because I can't reply either! Thanks so much!

Ok, I know I have mine set up, but how do I tell if people who comment on my blog have it?! Can you tell?? So this mean that when I "reply" under their comment, it will automatically be sent to them, correct? I've been wondering this! :)NicoleRowdy in Room 300

I'm glad you posted this Lori!! I saw this a few weeks ago & now I try to reply to comments by email & I feel bad when it's no reply@blogger.com, because I want to be able to reply to all. :)LisaLearning Is Something to Treasure

Lori,I've been meaning to do this for awhile. Thank you sooooooooo much for posting using screenshots. I am a total visual person and your pictures REALLY helped. Please check to see if mine works now. Thanks again,✰ Stacy

Thanks for posting this! I'm learning something new every day and loving it. Now I have a question, how come even though I know I follow your blog (and any other blog that I follow) whenever I got to your blog under the google followers/friends it never says I follow you? But I get all your updates!!!

I am no longer a "no-reply" blogger! And I'm kinda sad that I wasn't always one of these "no-reply" bloggers! I guess you can't always know everything. :) So thanks for sharing! ---Now, if you can fix my "reply" button (I don't have one and can't figure out how to get one!) on my comment feed... I'd be the happiest person ever!

Oops! I was a no-reply blogger and didn't even know it. It always has bugged me when I couldn't send an email back to someone and now I know they culdn't send one back to me. Got it fied. Tanks so much!

Hi Lori,Thanks for your super easy tutorial about no-reply bloggers. I think I'm good, so you can email me back. Since I'm a very new blogger, I am interested how you attained such a following so quickly? I'd love any tips you'd like to share!Thanks!

I just wanted to let you know that I have responded back to everyone up to this point. If you did not receive a reply from me yet, that means you are still a no-reply blogger. If you are using Google+, it has been suggested to revert back to Blogger, if possible, update your settings, and then go back to Google+. Good luck!

Wow! Great Tips! I'm new to blogging so I have a lot to learn. I don't blog to share/sell my teacher made materials, but joined an online book study (D5) and loved the blog hops so much that I decided that it would be a great summer project! Loe yours and will add you to my RSS feeds!

Thank you so much for sharing this! I am new to the blogging world so I had no idea about this! I've fixed my settings thanks to you! I am also your newest blogger! I'd love for you to hop on over to my blog and follow me as well! :)

Welcome, Andrea! I'm glad you found me. Did you become a no-reply blogger? If so, it didn't work because I wasn't able to reply to your comment through email. Sorry!Ѽ LoriTeaching With Love and Laughterluvyorkies@gmail.com

Found this post through another blog and and I am hoping mine is set up correctly. I had some trouble doing it as mine looked quite different. Could you let me know if I'm good to go?Thanks :)Antoinette

Interesting... Not sure what I am doing wrong. I followed your directions and everything appears to be correct. I just clicked on subscribe by email and it looks like that worked. Don't know why the other way isn't working.Thanks for your help. :)Antoinette
